Product Faqs

Q

Can I use Reynolds® Cut-Rite® Wax Paper in the oven?

A

Wax paper should not be directly exposed to the heat of an oven. However, Reynolds® Cut-Rite® Wax Paper may be used as a pan liner when baking cakes, bread, muffins or any baked food in which the dough or batter completely covers the wax paper lining.

Q

What is the difference between Parchment Paper and Wax Paper?

A

Both Wax paper and Parchment paper provide a non-stick surface to help food lift off of the surface of a pan without sticking. Wax paper is made by applying a coating of wax to a thin paper sheet. Parchment paper has a natural non-stick coating produced through a special “parchmentizing” process. The way they’re made means that both are microwave safe, but only parchment paper is oven safe (up to 420F).Both wax paper and parchment paper can be used for lining cake pans for baking cakes. This is because the cake batter completely covers the wax paper.

Q

What is each made of?

A

Parchment paper is made from paper and through the unique “parchmentizing” process, producing a very dense, non-stick paper that won't fall apart when wet.Wax paper is a light-weight paper that has been coated with food grade wax.
